The Water Cycle Bag

We have been studying the water cycle and have had this ziplock bag hanging in our window watching what happens as heat is added or taken away. Condensation is formed inside the bag and runs down the sides (precipitation) and then accumulates with the water in the bottom of the bag. We have also noticed a drop in the water in the bag, which means evaporation is taken place as well. It is awesome to watch the stages of the water cycle come to life!

About Me

I am a fourth grade teacher at Cumberland County Elementary School and started teaching in 2005. I completed my Bachelor's Degree at Western Kentucky University in Elementary Education. I have a Master's Degree at WKU with a focus in Library Media. Currently, I have started work on a second Master's Degree in School Counseling. I am also working on publishing my first children's book about autism! My husband is in the field of education and is the Principal at Cumberland County Middle School and the Pastor at Centerpoint Church of the Nazarene. We have a six-year old son, Ryan, who is such a joy! We live in Burkesville and we stay very busy with family and church events. Some of my accomplishments in education include being a 2010 Mickelson Exxon Mobil Academy attendee and being a 2012 and 2013 Kentucky Teacher of the Year Nominee. I am also a KY Internship Resource Teacher. I love teaching and cannot imagine doing anything else! I know it is my calling and I feel extremely blessed to be able to fulfill God's purpose for my life!
